Alastor and Vox run into each other while Al is taking a walk, recovering from his battle with Adam. Vox tries to fight him, but in Alastors weakened state, he is reminded of how his old friend used to be, and instead invites him out. They spend time catching up, and having deep, albeit drunken chats.
Both have ulterior motives, but as their friendship grows into something more, and Vox tries to make a deal with Alastor, things get messy very quickly. Alastor wants to rekindle his friendship, while Vox is still very much in love with Al, and will do anything to keep him close.
Both are obsessed with controlling the other, and Alastor begins to act very out of character to get what he wants, willing to indulge in Vox's desire in order to gain control, but he begins to get too attached, and realizes he might not be as strong willed and independent as he thought he could be.
